Bookroo's summary

Bird wakes up too grumpy to fly, so he decides to walk. As he trudges along, Sheep, Rabbit, Raccoon, Beaver, and Fox join him, each seeking companionship. Despite his growing grumpiness, Bird discovers that a little exercise and the company of friends can turn his mood around. Will Bird's bad day end with a smile? This charming tale invites readers to explore how friendship and movement can transform even the grumpiest of days into something delightful.

From the publisher

Bird wakes up feeling grumpy. Too grumpy to eat or play. Too grumpy even to fly. “Looks like I’m walking today,” says Bird. He walks past Sheep, who offers to keep him company. He walks past Rabbit, who also could use a walk. Raccoon, Beaver, and Fox join in, too. All the while, Bird grows grumpier and grumpier! But before he knows it, a little exercise and companionship help Bird overcome his bad mood. This winsome, refreshingly original story is sure to help kids (and grown-ups) giggle away theirs, too!
